Automated Parking Lot Assignment on Market Platforms

[Hirnsausen]

We all know it: we canot find any parking lot in the size of our ship when attempting to land on some market platforms.

I am proposing a system that - on keyboard hotkey - automatically places the hovering ship on a parking area, ship beside ship, based on size, and so maximizing  the usage of the available space for parking.  This way, many more ships can be parked on a market platform, and without blocking each other.

The pilots can easily find their ships with setting their ship construct as destination.

X universe has a good system for this. Each station would have several parking area's. (Several s, m, l). When you want to land at a station you request docking permission. It gives you a weigh point to land at a specific pad. Once half of the pads are filled up the pad opens up and puts the ship into perm storage. When a player needs his ship again he can go to any open pads terminal of the correct size and request his ship be brought out of perm storage.

Sounds good.
